I was born 4 February 1878 at Bloomington, Idaho and was the oldest |
|
|
|
child of John Brigh a m and Maria Elizabeth Stevens Bennett. When I was |
|
|
|
about five years old my father set out f o r Arizona taking myself and my |
|
|
|
brother John, his sister Annie and brother Dave. We began i n D ecember |
|
|
|
1883, it took us six weeks to make the trip traveling by wagon. There |
|
|
|
were quit e a nu mber of families in the caravan and it was a long cold |
|
|
|
journey. I remember a few incid ents th at happened along the way. It |
|
|
|
snowed on us and one family had a stove in their wago n and my f ather |
|
|
|
used to carry me over and let me ride with them and warm my feet. The |
|
|
|
road w as rough an d one wagon tipped over and killed a baby. We had to |
|
|
|
ford streams, all but the Co lorado Rive r and that we crossed on a ferry |
|
|
|
or so it was called, but it was not like the fer ry boat of t oday, just |
|
|
|
a flat boat and one of our horses jumped overboard. |
|
|
|
The first town we stopped at was Pima, Arizona. We just lived there a |
|
|
|
short time. A few d a ys after we arrived, while we were still camped |
|
|
|
out. our wagon caught fire at night while t h e horses were tied to it |
|
|
|
eating hay and our best horse burned to death. We moved on to Saff or d |
|
|
|
where we lived for about two years. Fathers health was not too good. |
|
|
|
There was lots of t yph oid and malaria fever there, but we stayed long |
|
|
|
enough to build us a new home and plant a n or chard. It seemed good to |
|
|
|
have a home. But the Indians were bad, they often came into tow n an d |
|
|
|
stole the farmers horses, then when the men followed them they would |
|
|
|
ambush them and k ill t he men. So my father moved again, this time |
|
|
|
farther South. He worked as an engineer o n the ra ilroad at a little |
|
|
|
town called Bowie Station. I was then about eight years old and w e staye |
|
|
|
d there eight years, but the Indians were still bad. So in 1894 we again |
|
|
|
set out fo r Vernal , Utah. |
|
|
|
Father loved to pioneer and when he heard of a new country that was to |
|
|
|
be opened up tha t i s where he wanted to go. It took us just two months |
|
|
|
to make the trip from Arizona to Vern al , again by wagon, where now it |
|
|
|
can be made in one day. The roads were rough and there wer e n o signs to |
|
|
|
tell us which way to go and in some places there were no roads at all or |
|
|
|
bridg es t o cross the streams. When we would come to a swollen stream |
|
|
|
father would unhitch his bes t hor se and ride out in the stream and see |
|
|
|
if it was possible to cross. All the way we wer e in dan ger from the |
|
|
|
Indians. Just one little incident I will relate: When we were near For t |
|
|
|
Apache A rizona we were camped for the night, we had eaten our supper and |
|
|
|
were playing arou nd the cam p fire when an Indian scout came riding into |
|
|
|
camp at break-neck speed and told u s the Indian s were _coming and had |
|
|
|
just killed a family, so we gathered our belongings toget her and move d |
|
|
|
on about two miles to where the soldiers were camped. But the next day we |
|
|
|
ha d to face it ag ain and so it continued all the way through Arizona |
|
|
|
We arrived in Vernal on the seventh day of October 1894, and lived |
|
|
|
there for several ye a rs. It seemed awful cold our first winter in Utah. |
|
|
|
It was while we were lining in Vernal th a t I meet and married Gideon |
|
|
|
Daniel Curtis in 1898 and to us were born eight children, fiv e o f whom |
|
|
|
are now living, I have 36 grand children and 21 great-grand children. My |
|
|
|
mother di ed i n 1899 while we were still in Vernal When the Uintah |
|
|
|
Indian Reservation was opened my h usban d and I bought a homestead |
|
|
|
nearby, but it was tough going again but we held on anothe r 12 yea rs. |
|
|
|
We now had our eight children. We moved to Lehi, Utah and then to |
|
|
|
American Fork , Utah whe re we lived about five years, when my husbands |
|
|
|
health began to fail and for abou t three year s he was unable to work. |
|
|
|
Then the load of making a living fell on my oldest chil dren. |
|
|
|
My three boys did all they could, but my husband thought if he came to |
|
|
|
California it wou l d improve his health. It did for a short time, but |
|
|
|
after two years in California he died i n L os Angeles. Now my two |
|
|
|
oldest children were married and I had one son and five daughter s i n a |
|
|
|
strange land. I could see that it was impossible for us to live unless I |
|
|
|
could work . S o I got me a job soon after my husband passed away and for |
|
|
|
18 years I sat at a sewing mac hin e to raise my family, and they never |
|
|
|
had to want.. I had no help from any other source bu t m y own children. |
|
|
|
Inside of eighteen years they were all married. They all have families . |
|
|
|
I los t my oldest son and two daughters. All left small children. I have |
|
|
|
one grandson to ra ise, hi s mother and father both passed away. He is |
|
|
|
now sixteen and I have had him for 11 yea rs. In 1 946 I met and married |
|
|
|
Joseph Richardson, formerly of Ogden, Utah, now of San Jose, h e was a w |
|
|
|
idower. We live at 185 South 23 St. in San Jose in a lovely little house, |
|
|
|
my husban d and myse lf and my grandson. My oldest daughter has a |
|
|
|
beautiful home near by. We make occas ional trip s to Los Angeles where |
|
|
|
four of my children live. We also make trips to Utah and Wy oming to vi |
|
|
|
sit our relatives. We are trying to enjoy the rest of our lives now and |
|
|
|
no more p ioneering. M y husband is eighty years old and I an |
|
|
|
seventy-five, he still drives the car wh ere ever we w ant to go |
